The discovery that men have beer
leading double lives has become az
almost every day occurrence, as is sc
strongly illustrated in slim, the Pen
man."
There are thousands of men in oul
communities who are leading double
lives. Men who pretend to be saints
but are sinners; Sunday School Super
intendents, who turn out defaulters
temperance lecturers who prove to be
addicted to strong drink; re ormers,
for s.what there is in it." The world
is full of this double living, which in
dicates positive lack of character.
In the learned profession how they
thrivel Heaa the lawyer demanding.
in the name OF justice, the acquittal OF
the client he knows is guilty; the
preacher advocating in public creed
he privately decries. Note the physi-
clan professionally tied down to a
schoo he does not follow in his prac.
tice. There comes to us a peculiar
instance of this duplicity. Some
years ago there was put upon the
market proprietary remedy,-War
ner's safe cure,-a specific for all krd-
ney disorders. Prior to its discovery
there had been no sure remedy for
these disorders, which lead quickly to
bright's disease, and other kidney,
liver and blood ailments so much
dreaded. The efficacy of the remedy
was soon shown, yet because it was a
proprietary remedy the medical pro
fesslon, as such, refused to recommend
its use Nevertheless DR.. Gum, of
New York, practitioner of so great
repute as to be independent of schools
declares "The ingredients IF the rem
edy are among the most valuable
medicines of "materia medical" and
says he knows the medicine is used
by leading physicians: but they will
not let their patients know they en-
ploy it.
DIR. Dio Lewis, who represented
manful independence in his profession
and who was p one to decry all kinds
of medicine, yet spoke in the highest
terms of Warmers safe cure, and said
were he victim of any kidney dis
ease-and most diseases originate in
such disorders-he would certainly
use it. Thousands of physicians Sc
cretly prescribe it in circles of their
wn.
Is it the fact that this double living,
this moral duplicity among men is
growing evil, that makes this class of
books so popular?
